This photo shows a very rare example of two surviving very old Tsa Tsa made from the same mould. As expected, the two dimensions of the fired Tsa Tsa are not identical. However, it is easy to see that the same mould was used.
You can clearly see that one of the two has been exposed to more environmental influences in the 900 years since it was made. Its surface is much more worn in comparison. The better preserved tsa tsa is much sharper and you can see more details.
